The Tea with Auric B

Happy “New Year”… or whatever the hell this is supposed to be. If you’re waking up on January 1 like, “New year, new me, time to slay goals,” but your body feels like a dead iPhone with 5% battery and 58 tabs open… this episode is for you. Because here’s the truth: January 1 is a lie, hunty. It’s a made-up reset date shoved into the dead middle of winter, when nature is literally doing the opposit...

In today’s episode, I’m getting brutally honest about something most of us never admit out loud — what happens when you finally give yourself permission to rest… and your nervous system absolutely refuses to let you. This wasn’t the soft, spiritual, self-care era I imagined. No meditation. No yoga. No breathwork. Just me, staring at the ceiling like, “Are you kidding me? This is my healing era? ”...

Today’s episode is a love letter to every creator, healer, entrepreneur, and chronically overachieving human who thinks they have to grind 24/7 to matter. Let me say it louder: If you have to force it, it’s probably shit. (Just like a fart. Yes, we went there.) This week, I’m breaking down the truth about creative burnout, why rest is actually part of the work, and how slowing down rewires your ne...

Today… we’re stepping into territory I’ve NEVER taken you before. We’re talking past lives, soul contracts, and the kind of regression work that makes your whole identity go “oh… so THAT’S why I am the way I am.” In this episode, I’m spilling the tea on what past life regressions actually are, why they’re one of the most powerful healing tools you’ll ever experience, and how one single session con...

✨ Just visualize it and it’ll come true! 🕯️ Light a candle, hold a crystal, and the universe will deliver! 🙄 Say it, sit back, and let abundance find you! …Girl, no . In this explosive episode, Auric throws a glitter bomb into the performative, rose quartz-wielding, spiritual-bro nonsense that’s hijacked the manifestation conversation — and replaces it with the real alchemy. Because spoiler aler...

Okay, babe — time to shut that sh*t down and restart. Because if your life feels like it’s glitching, buffering, or crashing into the same damn walls… …it’s probably not your fault. But it is your programming. Here’s the deal: Auric’s cracking open your inner motherboard in this episode and dropping the truth — you’re not the one running the show. From the age of zero to seven, your subconscious g...

Y’all… we wish this one was made up. Auric. A hospital. A very confused patient. And a moment that will live in his medical history forever . In this hilarious, jaw-dropping, and very wet episode (you’ve been warned), Auric spills the story he’s never told — the time he accidentally made a woman… um… pop off during a medical procedure. It was his first month as a nurse. He was bright-eyed, bushy-t...

Some stories change you. This one wrecked me. Before all of this...the healing, the alchemy, the house I built from my own fire...I was just a brand-new trauma nurse at Vanderbilt. Wide-eyed. Hungry.

This...

It’s 2020. If we have learned anything this year it’s the we are fed up with racist, homophobic ridiculousness of human beings and we won’t stand for it.
